What to Do When Car Window Won't Roll Up?

[MarcusLee]

Here is a detailed introduction to the reasons and solutions for car windows not rolling up: 1. Aging, dirty, or deformed window seals (including inner strips): These create resistance to window movement. Generally, it's best to replace new seals for aging or deformation issues, while simply cleaning dirty seals. Spraying dashboard wax or applying talcum powder (for lubrication) on the window seals usually yields good results. 2. Dirty window lift tracks: Another lubrication issue. Cleaning the window lift tracks and applying grease can eliminate the fault. 3. Battery power: When rolling up windows without the engine running, it consumes the battery's power. Insufficient battery power may cause difficulty in window movement. 4. Motor failure: If there's sufficient power and no resistance but still difficulty in movement, it's likely a motor issue. Window regulator failures, including track issues, cable faults, or slider problems, require replacing the window regulator. 5. Improper window seals: Some cars do have improperly fitted seals. In such cases, DIY adjustments using scissors or knives to reshape the seals may help.
